Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

On the morning of September 22nd.

Other companies working on the same floor reportedly heard the fierce quarrel coming from the Mihuyou studio.

But the time was short-lived, and calm returned soon.

At noon, Cai Haoyu and others saw Jin Zhidong out of the office building door, and the two parties said goodbye to each other at the door.

Before Cai Haoyu could go to Xu Xing, he received the agreement modification opinions from Qunxing Company.

These include self-restrictions on voting rights and views on the actual control of Mihuyou Studio, saying that Qunxing will not interfere with any decision-making of Mihuyou while ensuring that its own interests are not damaged.

afterwards.

Cai Haoyu came to Tianshu Game Entertainment Company and signed a supplementary shareholder agreement with Xu Xing. In the end, he compromised and had no choice but to accept the current facts.

For him, how much money he can make from the game is secondary. As long as the game can grow and he can complete the construction and sharing of his inner fantasy two-dimensional world, then everything else can be discussed.

This is also the reason why Cai Haoyu is so obsessed with equity and control.

Because most investors only value their own interests, they are destined not to be like-minded comrades who can fight for their dreams with them.

If he is not sure of his control, he will eventually give up Mihuyou Studio and start a new business with the core of the team. Even if it becomes more difficult, Cai Haoyu will not hesitate.

Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao, who are with him, will support his decision without hesitation.

If Jin Zhidong hadn't taken all the responsibility on himself, and Xu Xing had promptly proposed supplements to the agreement, perhaps Cai Haoyu would have had this idea.

However, now that there are more restrictions on shareholders, although a series of protective measures have been implemented for the shares held by Qunxing Company, it also ensures that Cai Haoyu's team's control over the studio will not be threatened.

In fact, Xu Xing was not interested in controlling Mihuyou at all.

All he cares about is shares and actual income.

In the process of development of many Internet companies, capital and large companies will inevitably occupy the vast majority of the shares. In order to maintain their actual control over the company, founders will implement a model similar to AB shares.

Those who hold B shares vote at a rate more than ten times that of A shares. Even if the founder only holds less than 20% of the shares, he can still control more than 50% of the voting rights.

Many times, the most valuable thing about a startup is not the shell, but the core team.

This is also why in the previous life Alibaba acquired a bunch of companies, and after replacing the company's original founder team in order to fit in with the company's strategy, the acquired companies collapsed.

In most cases, after replacing key people, the company is no longer the same company.

Although the resources it possesses are still there, even the technology patents and market share are still there, in the company's development process, any important decision must be accompanied by the founder's own ideas and will.

Replacing the top core is equivalent to replacing a person's brain.

The body is still the same body, but the person controlling the body is no longer the same person, and the actions taken will be different from before, and behavioral deviations are bound to occur.

If this deviation is applied to the company, it will lead to huge differences and even irreversible consequences.

Therefore, even if Xu Xing really wants to continue to increase his stake in Mihuyou in the future, he will not have any idea about the actual control of Mihuyou, and will even proactively suggest to Cai Haoyu to implement the AB share system.

After all, what he is interested in is Mihuyou's follow-up Beng Er Beng San and Genshin Impact. If even the core of the team is forced to leave, it will be useless to just have a shell company.

As for making it yourself?

You have to say that letting Xu Xing make a lightweight mobile game like Fruit Assassin is still within the scope of his capabilities, but when it comes to these two-dimensional mobile games produced by Mihuyou, it is really not his plan.

Something that can be done with a plan.

In fact, even the [WeChat Assistant], [Hot News] and [Eat Takeaway] that he is promoting would not be as successful if he did not have experienced elders like Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan joining them.

Easy things.

Xu Xing knows very well where his advantages lie.

The greatest advantage of reborn people is their foresight of the times.

But foresight is not everything, and some things cannot be done just by knowing them.

With a clear view of the direction of the times, what Xu Xing has to do is to use the right people and do the right things, instead of simply being a corporate dictator who keeps grabbing every good thing he sees.

Only by learning to properly share interests and rights can we bundle individual talents onto the chariot of Qunxing Company, and the road ahead will be better.

When faced with a behemoth company like Tencent Alibaba, it will never be enough to rely on Xu Xing, a reborn person, to fight alone.

…

September 23, early morning.

Xu Xing got up early, lifted up the quilt and walked out of the bedroom. He stood in front of the sliding door of the balcony of the rented apartment, stretched in the dim sunlight, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.

At this time, Yan Chijuan's bedroom door was also opened, and the two met each other in the corridor.

After taking a look at Xu Xing's undressed upper body, Yan Chi paused in jealousy, his cheeks suddenly turned rosy, and he quickly covered his face with his hands, but the eyes between his fingers were wide open, and he kept looking at Xu Xing.

.

"Uh... I'm sorry." Xu Xing hurriedly returned to the living room, returned to his bedroom, put on his clothes, and then returned to the bathroom. "I got used to it in the dormitory. I forgot to get dressed when I got up."

"It's okay..." Yan Chijuan was brushing her teeth at this time and kept mumbling. She actually didn't mind at all. She would have been happy to have Xu Xing come to wash with him naked just now.

Thinking of this, Yan Chijiu glanced at Xu Xing who had already put on clothes in the mirror, and felt a little disappointed in his heart.

The boss is in good shape.

Just after looking at it for a few times, I wanted to touch it.

I didn't notice it when I gave the boss a massage before, but it turned out that there was quite a bit of material under the clothes. I really wanted to pinch and see the muscles on the boss's arms and his abdominal muscles. I didn't know if they would feel hard if I poked them.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Xing picked up the toothpaste and toothbrush and found that Yan Chiju suddenly stopped while brushing his teeth. He suddenly asked strangely, "Did you stop?"

"No, I didn't think anything of it..." Yan Chijiu came back to his senses, quickly lowered his head and continued brushing his teeth, blinking his eyes and feeling guilty, not daring to look at Xu Xing.

Xu Xing, who started brushing his teeth, stood by the sink and looked at the two people, one tall and one short, in the mirror, feeling a little confused.

I don't know what happened, but it suddenly seemed like we were living together.

One of the two people was wearing short-sleeved shorts, and the other was wearing pajamas and pajamas. Yan Chiju was small, with her head only reaching Xu Xing's shoulders. The petite one stood beside Xu Xing, brushing his teeth obediently.

While Xu Xing was still dazed, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Xu Niannian, who was wearing a cool nightgown, walked in from the outside. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw the two people inside. She paused for a moment, then she didn't mind the crowd and followed in to brush her teeth.

This suddenly broke Xu Xing's illusion about living together.

No matter how we live together, it's impossible for one man and two women to live together, right?

This is just a shared rental.

"Can you please stop crowding? We don't officially go to work until nine in the morning. You go out and wait for a while." Xu Xing felt speechless when he felt Xu Niannian lying on his back and reaching for toothpaste and toothbrush.

"Go to work early, why don't I contribute more value to you?" Xu Niannian stood behind Xu Xing, stood on tiptoes, hugged Xu Xing with both hands, picked up the toothbrush in one hand, and the toothpaste in the other, and squeezed out the toothpaste.

, then he withdrew his hands and stepped back, "You, the boss, will not encourage your employees at all."

"As long as the boss knows how to pay wages well, that's all." Xu Xing brushed his teeth and complained, "What do you think about me using incentives to deduct your wages?"

"Get out of here, if you say this, be careful if you get lit up as a sky lantern." Xu Niannian lifted his foot from behind and kicked Xu Xing on the butt.

Next to him, Yan Chijiu silently brushed his teeth, then washed his face, and obediently gave up the washing position to Xu Niannian, "Sister Niannian, come here, I've finished washing."

"Yeah." Xu Niannian stepped aside, and after Yan Chijuan left the bathroom, he took over Yan Chijuan's original position and stood next to Xu Xing.

At this time, Xu Xing looked up at the mirror again, and the original petite figure next to him had been replaced by the tall Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian's head can almost reach Xu Xing's nose, and when they stand together, they look about the same.

A pair of long legs were exposed, and the nightgown only covered less than half of the thigh skin. As long as Xu Xing lowered his head, he could catch a glimpse of a large expanse of snow-white, which was very attractive.

After the three people finished washing, they each changed into the clothes they would wear when going out today.

Because it was still early for Xu Niannian to go to work, he spent a long time in the bedroom without seeing her.

After Xu Xing changed his clothes and saw that Yan Chijuan was ready, he shouted towards Xu Niannian's bedroom: "Yan Chijuan and I are going back to school first!"

"Know it!"

After receiving the response, Xu Xing waved to Yan Chijuan, and the two of them went out together, went to the underground garage to get their electric scooters, and rode their scooters back to school one after another.

…

Classroom 401, Min University Teaching Building.

Xu Xing and Yan Chijue walked into the class early and each walked to sit down next to their roommates.

Li Nan looked at Yan Chijiu sitting next to her with a strange expression, then glanced at Xu Xing who came in with her, and couldn't help but wonder: "You're not really living with Xu Xing, are you?"

"No, not at all...Nan Nan, don't talk nonsense." Yan Chijue quickly waved his hands and defended in a low voice, "We just happened to meet at the door."

Um.

We met at the bathroom door of the rented apartment. She wasn't lying...right?

On the other side, Xu Xing sat down next to Zhang Nong, took out his laptop from his backpack, and patted Zhang Nong on the shoulder while there was still some time before class.

"I'll show you something good."

"Ah?" Zhang Nong looked confused and looked at Xu Xing's laptop curiously.

Jian Jiashu and Lu Pengyou on the other side also came over, thinking that Xu Xing was going to share some study documents with them.

Lu Pengyou also reminded in a low voice: "Brother Xu, this is in the classroom, isn't it good?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Xing glanced at Lu Pengyou speechlessly, and then opened the above web page and showed it to Zhang Nong, "Didn't you ask me before why you should pay more attention to Xuexia peripherals?

Is the restaurant's takeout order business? You can take a look at this first."

The three people in the dormitory gathered around curiously and looked at the web page opened on Xu Xing's computer. The name of the website was at the top——

【Eime takeaway platform】

"What does this mean?" Lu Pengyou asked, "a food delivery platform?"

"It's just a website that can be used to order takeout." Xu Xing flipped the page, and various classified columns quickly appeared below, but at this time they were all blank. He simply introduced, "As long as you can invite merchants to settle in, users can

You can order takeout from any store you want directly on this platform.”

“The website has just been built and the mobile APP is still being developed, so it looks relatively rudimentary.”

"In addition, there is a merchant version of the exclusive software. After the merchant registers, he can adjust the menu and pricing of his own store in his own backend."

Listening to what Xu Xing said, the three of them were a little confused.

Jian Jiashu's first reaction was: "It's like Taobao e-commerce? It just changes from other products to the form of meals. This platform is used to connect merchants and users?"

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded, "What we have to do is very simple. First, we invite stores with a sufficient number of surrounding categories and rich enough categories to join the platform. Second, we let more users know about the existence of the platform and choose to use the platform.

When ordering takeout, the last step is to find a group of delivery people to help us deliver the takeout."

"Fuck you." Lu Pengyou was shocked after hearing this, "Then we can just lie down and collect the money?"

Xu Xing: "..."

If only things were that simple.

Although Xu Xing said it is simple, every step will be very difficult to implement.

Not to mention lying down to collect money, it is difficult to make money standing up. In the early stage, you will probably have to kneel down to burn money.

However, Xu Xing's purpose of doing takeout was not to make money, he had other plans for the role of this business.

However, in the initial stage of a food delivery platform, starting from a university campus is the safest and most cost-effective way.

First, college students have a strong demand for takeaways, and the addresses are single, mostly concentrated in dormitory buildings and libraries.

Second, there are a large number of surrounding businesses with rich categories, and they are not far away, so it will be relatively easy to conquer them.

Third, there are actually many college students who are short of money. Many people are willing to work as takeaways to earn some extra money. In addition, they are all familiar with the address of the school, which eliminates the problem of familiarizing themselves with takeout routes in the early stage.

This is why Xu Xing came to Zhang Nong and wanted to get him into the car.

Because Zhang Nong has been delivering food for the past month, and because Xu Xing asked him to pay attention to things, Zhang Nong at this time is not only the person who knows the most about food delivery in the surrounding area, but at least he is familiar with it.

It would be a good thing if I could help Zhang Nong.

Moreover, in addition, he has other purposes, and he can also try and expand through the takeout project.

As for money?

If the early takeout expansion was limited to the area around Min Da, it wouldn’t actually cost much money.

When we reach the stage where we need to burn a lot of money in the future, at least it will be after next year.

By then, even if he directly sells the food delivery platform, he will make a profit, not to mention that Xu Xing has other ideas, but he will have to wait until then to make a judgment based on the specific situation.

"So you let me know about the food delivery situation in the surrounding area just to find opportunities to promote this platform?" Zhang Nong pondered for a moment and asked, "But whether people are willing to join is still a question, right? In addition, publicity in schools is also a problem.

.”

"This website was made by my uncle, and he will be responsible for the subsequent APP." Xu Xing said, "A company will be set up at that time, and my uncle will provide all the funds. You only need to be responsible for the execution, and the salary will be at least higher than yours."

Now it’s more valuable to earn money through hard work.”

"So this is a project that your uncle plans to start a business?" Jian Jiashu on the side suddenly asked.

"No." Xu Xing shook his head, "I borrowed the initial funds from my uncle. He was only responsible for software development. I contributed the funds for the establishment of the company."

"So Brother Xu, are you going to start a business?" Lu Pengyou realized it at this time and exclaimed, "Damn, you are a bit outrageous. Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"The initial investment was only a few hundred thousand, all given by my uncle."

The starting capital within the university did not require much, and Xu Xing did not want to get it right in one go. Many things had to be explored slowly through trial and error, especially the specific management and promotion of the food delivery platform. He had never understood it in detail in his previous life.

At this stage, you still have to take it one step at a time.

But just when Lu Pengyou was still surprised, Jian Jiashu next to him smiled and asked: "Brother Xu, can I help with this project of yours? I am currently at the Association of Electrical Engineering Institute and can contact major associations.

It can also be helpful for publicity.”

"Huh?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Jian Jiashu to say this suddenly. He looked at him more carefully, then thought for a moment and asked, "Can I contact the club?"

"It should be possible, right?" Jian Jiashu thought for a while, "If you are willing to provide sponsorship, various club activities are actually happy to help promote this kind of thing, especially for larger clubs, the activities are more popular and there will be many people participating.

.”

"Wait, wait, wait! Are we starting to discuss the publicity strategy now?" Lu Pengyou was a little confused after hearing this development, but he didn't know if it was because he was enthusiastic, so he immediately raised his hand and asked, "Then I will too.

Can you come and help?"

"I joined the Organization Department before, and now I work in the Propaganda Center, and I have contact with the Propaganda Department."

"If you want to publicize it, it's easy to get support for our college student entrepreneurship projects."

At this time, Zhang Nong, who had calmed down, also said: "The Service Department has a lot of registration information left by poor students and students who just want to work part-time to make extra money. We can also go there to publish information about recruiting delivery workers."

"In addition, on the merchant side, I also know a lot of delivery people from other stores around, and many of them are students from our school."

"If we can get them all together, we should be able to quickly organize a takeout delivery team."

Xu Xing looked at the three roommates and blinked. He didn't expect that he had just proposed an idea. Even the website and software were still in the development stage, and he only came up with a semi-finished product. They were already so eager to participate.

However, with their relationship at the school, Xu Xing does not need to directly use money to clear the way, which may save a lot of initial investment.

"Okay." Xu Xing nodded and agreed, "Then I will be responsible for the decision-making of software development and operation promotion, Zhang Nong will be responsible for the entry of takeout merchants and the establishment of the delivery team, and Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu will be responsible for external publicity and attracting users."

"But it will take a few more days to be specific. The software on my side has not been developed yet."

"We can start with the preliminary preparations."

Morning classes were about to start, so the four of them decided briefly.

Ever since, the prototype of a start-up company was born seemingly casually before the morning class in the Min University classroom.

…

On September 29, Eat.me Network Services Company was officially registered and established.

Xu Xing invested 1 million yuan, accounting for 100% of the shares.

Zhang and Nong were recruited by Xu Xing with a monthly salary of 6,000 and became the first batch of management personnel, responsible for specific promotion and publicity execution.

At the same time, with Dai Zhuoshan’s main focus in the early stage being on the research and development of the Qieme platform, coupled with Xu Xing’s design control over the details of the platform, a lot of trial and error and modification costs were saved, and the project advanced.

Very quickly.

The 1.0 version of the mobile version of Eat.me was also launched simultaneously on this day and was displayed in front of Zhang Nong and others.

However, just as Xu Xing and Zhang Nong were discussing the initial promotion strategy, his cell phone suddenly received a call from his secretary Peng Yuxuan.

"Hello? What's going on?"

"Mr. Xu." Peng Yuxuan reported on the other end of the phone, "Tencent's three studios have released new games, and all three are imitations of Fruit Assassin."

"Many media outlets just called us to ask our opinion on this matter."

"Do we need to respond?"
